Chapter 1: Border City

To the north of the continent of San Lo Helrant, there are two kingdoms. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info one is the resource-rich Yurasno Empire, and the other is the Lokosno Empire with barren land. They were originally under the same imperial power, but political differences led to the split of the former superpower into two medium-sized empires.

The Yurasno Empire has never broken its strings in the wind and snow in this land since the onset of winter, and it may not be said that it is so decisive, but the war will make many people not remember those warm and quiet days.

At the beginning of January in the year 982, the beginning of the new year belonging to the Yurasno Empire, this day was also the time when the fourth empress of the Yurasno Empire gave birth to a prince.

Empress Jurasno IV's husband was Duke Meliwiz Ewing, who held the title of the first warrior of the Empire. However, Duke Melwiz Ewing did not remain in the palace when the Empress was on her death. Instead, in the late autumn of Hurrant 981, he personally led an army of 70,000 to the border to fight against the Lokosno Empire. Melwiz Ewing was not only the husband of the Empress, the Duke of the Empire, but also the Marshal of the Protectorate of Jurasno.

Empress Jurasno IV had just given birth to her son in the early hours of the morning, and she was quietly watching the baby boy in her arms from the couch of the palace. Although it is strange that the baby is born without crying, the baby is indeed healthy.

In any case, the baby's smile warmed the Empress's heart, and she sincerely thanked the little life for coming and for the hope he brought.

The wind and snow continued for days, and the cold wind inadvertently blew open the window of the queen's bed, and the window creaked and creaked with the wind. Because the empress had just given birth and could not withstand the wind, the maid beside the empress walked to the window, but the window still kept ringing.

The empress felt the coolness, subconsciously hugged the baby in her arms, looked at the window, and the maid who closed the window fell to the ground. In her heart, she only thought that she was the maid, perhaps because she was overworked, she fainted and fell to the ground: "You go and see." ”

One of the attendants around the Empress replied respectfully, "No, Your Majesty." ”

The maid walked to the window where the wind was blowing, and half-crouched down to see what was going on, when suddenly she felt her head sink and lose consciousness unconsciously.

A nervous feeling rose in the hearts of the maids beside the empress, and when one of them was about to open his mouth to call the guards outside the door, he did not realize that he would follow in the footsteps of the previous maid and fell to the ground unconscious.

Immediately afterwards, the maids, who were not in serious trouble, fell one after another around the queen's bed.

The sound of the cold wind howling, the creaking of the windows, the faint wheezing of the empress could be heard, but she could not make any sound. In addition to not being able to make a sound, even the body is in a state of rest.

Suddenly, a white phantom entered the Empress's bedchamber. At this time, the windows stopped ringing, but the candlelight in the dormitory was much extinguished.

The Empress saw a man wearing a silver robe with a silver embroidered mask in a little light, and faintly heard the crisp sound of a bell. She looked at it carefully, and judged that it was a man from the size of the body.

The empress couldn't figure it out in her heart, the imperial palace was heavily guarded, and at the moment when she gave birth, heavy soldiers were also placed around the palace, and this person could easily enter her own palace, which shows her strength.

The empress looked at this uninvited guest with extremely sharp eyes, wanting to make a move but helpless.

Even though the man was wearing a mask, the Empress could hear his laughter. I saw his index finger lift in the air, and the empress found that her tight throat suddenly relaxed, but her body still couldn't move.

The empress felt uneasy in her heart, but she still looked at the man and said, "Er! what do you want to break into my bedroom at night?"

"Your Majesty, there is a reason for coming. Rest assured, the child in your arms is not interested. His voice was so strange that the Empress could not tell from his voice what country he was, and that strange silver suit she had never seen before.

Although the empress did not come to target her own child when she heard the words in the mouth, she did not dare to relax in the slightest.

Those who come must have a plan, the empress thought in her heart, and said majestically: "What do you want to come here late at night!"

"Hmph. The mysterious man didn't know whether to sigh or disdain: "Since you ascended the throne and became emperor, it makes me feel uncomfortable talking." Without the slightest nervousness, the mysterious man lifted the curtain with his fingers and paced leisurely in the Empress's bedchamber.

The empress did not answer, but began to think in her heart, and from the meaning between the lines, it could be judged that this person knew herself well. But who he was, the empress kept searching in her mind, but she still couldn't find any clue.

The mysterious man looked at the appearance of the empress and let out a cold snort, and his tone was neither yin nor yang: "Why bother thinking about it, my name is Middleseus." ”

Middleseus!?

The mysterious man suddenly reported his home, but he did not get the empress's clear thinking, but tears appeared in his eyes.

The empress said hoarsely: "It's you!? It's you! Aren't you already..."

The Empress forced tears from her eyes, but Middlehus did not care, and said lightly: "Hmph, is it dead? Back then, your father, for his own desires, in order to prevent you from being with me, resolutely sent me on the expedition regardless of the situation. ”

Middletus paused for a moment and said: "It's just that such a faint king of all evils, regardless of this seat, those soldiers who have fought bloody battles for the empire have no pity at all!"

The empress lowered her eyes and said, "You are forced to be helpless, and I can't help myself." I only know that you are dead on the battlefield, and you wash your face with tears all day long, and then your father is seriously ill, how can I sit idly by in the face of thousands of people?

Middletheus was silent for a long time and said, "Well said, well said. Since you have given birth to a son, the royal blood has been inherited, and your obligations have been fulfilled, so you should leave with me. ”

"The child is young, the war has hurt the country, and the war has not yet been eliminated, I must watch over my husband and appease my children. So, I can't go. ”

Mithanius looked up to the sky and smiled, and the laughter could be described as sad: "Positions of power are indeed fascinating, and so are you. Do you have to stay in the future?"

"You see me like this, how can I explain it? Time has passed, why do you have to be persistent?"

Middleatius did not reply, but waved his hand. In addition to the baby waiting to be fed in the dormitory, the maid who fainted on the ground has long been gone......

――――――――

The length of the night doesn't matter anymore.

It was about sunrise, and the maids who had lost consciousness and collapsed on the floor last night woke up one after another, and only a sleeping baby was left on the bed of the queen's bedroom, but the queen was nowhere to be seen. These maids knew that they had caused a great disaster, but they were afraid, and they all hurried to call for help from the guards outside the dormitory.

Because of its proximity to the previous dynasty, it alarmed many important ministers and officials of the National Assembly, and the entire imperial court became a pot of porridge.

The imperial gate was suddenly closed, and anyone who knew about it was controlled by the soldiers and lost their freedom.

The ministers and officials were all driven by soldiers to the Congress Chamber, which was full of gossip. Some of the ministers whose freedom was restricted protested, some scolded, and no matter what they did, they were faced with cold weapons.

Suddenly, the quaint door of the Capitol Hall was pushed open by a group of soldiers, and a man dressed in fine clothes entered. The hall of the parliament suddenly fell silent because of the arrival of this man.

He, Arino Kodar. Cousin of the Fourth Empress of the Yurasno Empire, Prince Arena.

Prince Arena is handsome, tall and thin, and his royal robes are inlaid with all kinds of jewels and gold, but he is full of nobility, but he faintly exudes a gloomy atmosphere.

Prince Arena was the first to get the news except for the maids, and when the ministers of all levels gathered in the palace, he immediately led his own soldiers to the palace, controlling all the passages, the associated personnel and the little prince who had just been born for a long time.

Prince Arena used a thunderbolt to kill the ministers who knew the inside story and refused to submit to him, which of course was a treatment of the ministers. After all, those poor maids and guards could not escape the fate of death, and were ordered to be killed by Prince Arynor.

In this way, the entire imperial capital fell into a haze, and how many wealthy compounds disappeared in an instant.

In order to stabilize the people's hearts, Prince Arena posted an imperial list announcing that the fourth empress died in childbirth, and the newly born little prince ascended the throne as the fifth emperor, and Prince Arena naturally rose to become the regent of the Yurasno Empire.

The regent of Arena did not let his nerves slacken, and while dealing with the affairs of the imperial city, he sent his henchmen 80,000 troops to the Imperial Fortress to change the defense, in order to prevent Melwitz from returning to the imperial capital.

There is no reason to stop Melwitz from returning to the imperial capital, and the regent of Arino has already calculated in his heart that as long as he makes a will in the name of the emperor, he can stabilize Melwiez.

The Regent of Arena is not actually worried that Meliwitz will know this big news immediately, because he is far away on the border to fight against Lokosno, and it is a question whether he can come back.
